Our governor didn't even know what flattening the curve meant until like two days ago lol. She kept saying bend the curve for like 2 weeks.

I’m guessing with a lag in results that we may have been going through tests at the end of last week and today was a Sunday type thing which usually has lower numbers. Would guess there would be more tests tomorrow or the next for a few days. Hope I’m wrong and things improve. The east coast is still a crap show and I won’t feel too much better until they get their stuff under control some.
It's pretty well known there were a LOT of people faking symptoms/ histories in order to get tested early on. Hence all the "OMG they wouldn't test me!!!" FB stories you saw. Hopefully most of those have been weeded out.
Obviously it's not going to change much because you're adding small numbers to large numbers. I guarantee that percentage went up from yesterday though.
That's like saying:
Well, before this pandemic, 92% of people that have ever lived are dead and now it's only at 92.01%. Pretty insignificant if you ask me.
Once again, you don't know what flattening the curve means. It sounds like you're talking about the peak.
It does if she thinks a dip in the numbers means we're on the right side of things lol.
Huh? How does her referring to "flattening the curve" as "bending the curve" lead to her interpreting the numbers any differently?
Because I can assure you most doctors are able to tell who is faking and who is not faking. You can't fake a fever of 103, which is a requirement to get tested if you're under the age of 60 lol.
Then they must've expanded the criteria. I know someone who went into get tested and they literally told him he didn't meet the criteria because he didn't have a fever of 103 and his fever was 102.
